Is a mass movement called a gravity occurs when sediment suddenly slips downhill in one large mass?
Slump.
A mass movement called occurs when sediment suddenly slips downhill in one large mass.?
this is recognized as a avalanche :)
Erosion that occurs when gravity alone causes rock or sediment to move down a slope?
The type of erosion that occurs when gravity alone causes rock or sediment to move down a slope is called mass movement. The types of mass movement are creep, slump, rock slides, and mudflows.
What happenes to these sediments as they move around?
Sediments move around due to the combination of the force of gravity acting on the sediment and or the movement of the fluid in which the sediment is entrained. Movement may either be made by air, water or ice. Sediment movement in fluids occurs in water bodies as a result of water currents and tides.

What are the 4 types of rapid mass movement?
a slump- a curved surface in the landa creep- sediment and trees lean downhill (slowly)rockfalls and rock slides- rocks break lose and tumble and fall downhillmudflow-it flows down a slope and occurs after a heavy rainfall in a area with lose sediment

I think is a slump.

What form of mass movement occurs when a pasty mix of water and sediment moves downhill?
"mud slide"
What occurs when a mass of rock or sediment moves downhill leaving a curved scar?
RUNOFF

Wicth type of mass movement occurs when sediments slowly move downhill because of freezeing and thawing?
creep

Which type of mass movement occurs when sediments slowly move downhill because freezing and thawing?
The process in which sediments move slowly downhill, is called creep. It is common where freezing and thawing occur. As ice expands in soil, it pushed sediments up. Then as soil thaws, the sediments move farther downslope. Over time, creep can move large amounts of sediment, possibly causing damage to some structures

What occurs when the weight of overlying sediment forces the sediment grains to fuse?
A sedimentary rock is formed.
When there is movement in the Earth's crust what occurs?
Earthquakes occur as a result of strain from tectonic movement being suddenly released as a shock wave. In addition volcanoes may be formed as a result of divergence or subduction (from convergence), which both result from tectonic movement.
